Purchasing Guidelines

Products purchased from Tech Shop are for personal use only. Software may not be resold. Computing devices may not be sold within two years from the date of purchase.

Some vendors may limit the number of computing devices an individual may purchase in one academic year (July 1 to June 30). Please let us know if you have questions about any limits that may apply to your purchase.

Eligibility Requirements

Tech Shop sales are sometimes limited to specific groups by our vendors. Rules vary by product and vendor. Please contact us if you have any questions about buying from Tech Shop.

Computing devices are the most commonly limited items. In general, these are available to:

• degree-seeking U-M students;
• regular U-M staff;
• U-M faculty, emeritus faculty, and Regents;
• U-M alumni;
• U-M departments.

Eligible buyers of restricted products must show valid U-M ID (like an Mcard) to make a purchase.

Software Information

As an authorized academic reseller, we offer education pricing on several Mac and Windows software titles.

Due to the educational discount, software vendors have strict guidelines about who can buy, how many of the same software packages you can purchase, how many times the software can be installed and how the software can be used.

Please select products carefully because software is not returnable. We can help you determine if your computer will handle the system requirements of the software you're buying. The more you know about your computer's operating system, memory and tech specs the better.

U-M Microsoft Office 365

U-M Microsoft Office 365 is available to current University of Michigan faculty, staff, students, and emeritus with regular (not temporary) uniqnames. Alumni and retirees are not included in our license with Microsoft.

Software Delivery

For some software titles, download instructions will be sent to your UMICH email address once payment is received.

For titles requiring transfer of physical product, you can pick up at one of our campus store locations, or we can ship the item to you. Please note a shipping fee may apply to your order.

Departments

Tech Shop sells licensed software for personal use. Departments may only purchase licensed software on a shortcode for use on a faculty/staff member's personal computer.
